A food relief agency for residents of Brookline, Needham, Newton, Waltham, Watertown and Wellesley.
We provide our communities consistent and inclusive access to healthy food, with dignity and kindness.
Our organization is a reliable source of fresh food, groceries and personal care items for thousands of people.
The extraordinary growth in need has pushed us to become a large year-round outdoor operation, yet we have retained the feeling of a small, vibrant volunteer community that works together to be sure that no one is worrying about food or foregoing food for other expenses.
Everyone should have enough food.
No Child Hungry Summer Fundraiser
We have AMAZING news! Thanks to the generosity of our community, sparked by an anonymous matching donor, we reached our fundraising goal of $100,000! We are so grateful because we are giving an extra bag to families with children filled with fresh milk, sandwich rolls, deli meats, sliced cheese, fresh fruit and yogurt. Everything for a hearty lunch. They are so grateful!
More than half the families surveyed who visit Centre Street reported that their children did not receive subsidized meals in the summer, while the other half who brought their children to an approved meals site said they came home and were still hungry. This extra bag really matters!
Your ongoing financial support allows us to provide fresh milk, cheese and produce to families with children at every visit, year round. Will you you donate now to help us continue to purchase this healthy, fresh food?
